Strengthening the New Legislative Framework (NLF): Orgalim’s Priorities for the 2026 Revision

The New Legislative Framework (NLF) is widely considered a true success story of the European Union and the Single Market. Designed as the leading framework for horizontal definitions that apply across all product legislation, it serves as a template for product safety legislation – for products such as toys, electronics, and machinery – to ensure high safety standards. Nearly 20 years after its adoption, and with new market realities related to the digital and green transitions evolving a modernisation of the NLF framework is timely and needed.

As a great supporter of the NLF, Orgalim is fully invested in participating in the revision to strengthen the NLF and ensure its benefits continue to make a positive difference for businesses and consumers alike. This paper provides an outline of Orgalim’s views on the upcoming revision, explaining which elements of the NLF should remain unchanged and which areas require modernisation.
